Reviews

I got two of these (direct from manufacturer) for upstairs bedrooms on the West side of the house....despite double insulated window treatments, they stay at least four degrees hotter than the thermostat setting. These boosters keep that temperature lower than what they'd be without them. They really are noisy, though. Even set on "low fan", they're noisier than my "white noise" machine but I'm managing to sleep OK....if you're used to sleeping in dead quiet, these may take some getting used to. I just wish the vents were adjustable....I want my air blowing away from the walls, not perpendicular to them.

Because the fans in the unit were in the way, this actually REDUCED the airflow. The fan flow couldn't make up for the cross sectional area that they impeded.

I bought this hoping to equalize the temperature in the room farthest from the furnace. It's pretty loud, but the tone is low enough to be somewhat soothing. I had every intention of ripping out the fans and replacing them with quiet CPU fans but my daughter doesn't mind. It's made a slight improvment, but not worth the price. I actually considered returning it, but the company was going to only issue a credit and they don't make anything else I need.

My house has a 12'X12' bedroom that's always about 10 degrees F hotter or colder than the rest of the house on days when AC or heat is required. I wasted a lot of time trying to balance this by closing other registers in other rooms. Even adding another vent to the room didn't help. This device has been able to cut the temperature difference to about 4 degrees F. I don't know if the thermostat switch really works as I just turn it on or off manually. It's also noisy: sounds like a large portable electric fan on medium or high despite its small size.

I really have little to complain about except that the fans are so darned loud. There is a constant 2000 hz (?) whine/drone from the fans. Also, while I think that the volume of air was increased, I wouldn't say that these fans increased it by very much and I'm only gauging this by the flow of air around my hand. I plan to return it soon.
